Best Luxury Hotels In Corsica

The Med’s fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean may have been under French rule since 1768, but it has a strong Italian identity, thanks to its position between the two countries. It’s full of geographical diversity, with a unique character all of its own and fewer tourists than many of its neighbours. Corsica’s perimeter is lined with lovely sandy beaches (200 in total) and clear waters. Further inland, its peaks provide hiking opportunities and there are many canyons to trek, while village restaurants serve up the beloved local slow-cooked stews and hearty soups. Visit Ajaccio and Calvi too, if you want to discover a little history and a busier vibe.
